Topic: Open Source ZEC (ZCash) GPU Miner AMD & NVidia (up to 45 sol/s on RX480) - page 12. (Read 320695 times)

im glad ur all still mining on this crap scam pool, using a pool restricted miner that mines at half the hashrate vs real ones

hahahhaha

is it new ?

by the way eXtremal, i'm still mining just i changed my exchange  wallet - keep your good working!

Looks like Version 0.2.4 crashes after startup with

   Assertion failed: rc == 0 || zmq_errno () == ETERM, file zsockopt.c, line 976

on machines having the previous host/port error now...

You can try http://coinsforall.io/distr/zcashclient-0.2.4.zip - connection lost handling rewrited in this version.

Hi,

Currently mining with two NVIDIA GPUs... a 970 and a 750Ti. ( ./zcashgpuclient_silentarmy )

I guess that the miner starts 2 threads per GPU for collecting the results.

The 970 works fine (GPU0,1)  but the 750Ti  (GPU2,3) it seems can't handle 2 threads....

[GPU 0] T=-1C A=-1% sols=10.723
[GPU 1] T=-1C A=-1% sols=10.151
[GPU 2] crashed!
[GPU 3] T=-1C A=-1% sols=8.748


When starting the miner, the behaviour of the 750Ti is intermittent.  If it doesn't mine, usually, stopping and starting the miner will fix the problem, and it will mine as GPU2 or GPU3

Here the 750Ti doesn't mine at all.


Here, it mines well (with one thread, ~8 sol/s is acceptable I think)


I fiddled with the threads and work size and it seems that "threads: 512, work size: 256" for the 750Ti works well.

Any ideas for better settings or if it would be possibly to set the number of threads used for a GPU?

I'm mining here now because this was the first pool software I could get working well with Linux.  
The pool seems to be working well enough (probably no more hiccups than other pools) and  
paying out, so for the time being, I will continue mining here. The "Minimal Payout" adjustment works for me.  

It would be nice to see more statistics about the pool and a description of the payout scheme. Transparency
would increase the amount of trust from the miners. 4% pool fee is maybe a but higher than usual, but being
able to compare performance with other pools would be nice and could justify the fee.

What would be nice to see in terms of stats would be:
- count of shares per miner
- shares per block or round

I'd also like to say that so far, I am satisfied with the results from this pool. Initially I was a bit wary about
using pool since the software is unique to this (ZEC) pool.

do you have log file in this case when use screen?
i need log file to monitoring and restarting if crashing

can i mine on my amd processor?

try older version and report here what will happen, almost crashing related to gpu  - power - driver etc..
copy the result  here....

Does anyone know how to deal with GPUs crashing?

Im using screen right now on ubuntu to run the miner, but everynow an then one of the GPUs will crash.
I tried redirecting the output to a file, and parsing it to check if a GPU crashed but the file is empty?
Another option would be to restart the miner every x seconds, but im not sure its the best option.

Also did anyone manage to get 2 instances running on Nvidia cards?

Anndd did you try it is it working that well , if it is will you or the author share it?

I am using screen on ubuntu. Screen is easier to manage for me.

Hi all

My first post... i am a newbie. New to mining, new to linux, new to pretty much everything  
So i spent the last days reading everything there is about zcash mining and did some testing and trying.
Now i got the 0.2.3 client up and running in Ubuntu 16.04 with a steady 38 sols/s for a single FX480 8GB
(planning to add more GPU later)

Pool mining is working fine for me and very stable. Auto-payout is working flawless, already received 3 payments.
This pool is awesome!
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank eXtremal for all the hard work!!!

one question (could not find this anywhere):
When you transfer funds from t-addr to z-addr, there is a 0.0001 transaction fee that goes to the zcash folks.
Does this fee also apply to pay out from the pool to my t-addr?
(cause if that is the case, it would be ridiculous to set payout to 0.001 and loose 10% every time)

Cheers and happy mining to all!

I have copy this

Ya I know, I read some of your last post there and saw you we're actually taking up for someone else that had got banned. I think he takes pleasure in banning people lol ...  OldManKidd

Well it was me fighting with OldManKidd who kicks and bans 1 day without any reason and misusing his rights as mod..moron mod frustated and just let it go on me and others ..many ppl complained already

Hey GM ioglnx, was that you I saw getting the Banhammer last night for a day over on Poli  sure looked like you  small world perhaps...... or mistaken identity

how to run zcashgpuclient with log output?
i try run 
nohup ./zcashgpuclient &
but nohup.out was empty ((

Which error you got before? The can't connect?

Thanks for updated version.. works very well.. Im getting 35 sols on Sapphire RX470 OC Hynix.
I have modded bios with 1500 straps all up.
It runs very stable although I am using a .bat file to restart miners every 300 secs.

What I would like to know is what settings to use.
For Ethereum I was using 1050/850 and 1850/875 but for some reason ZEC does not like this.
It seems to prefer auto GPU.
All settings that I have tried eventually cause the hashrate to drop to about a quarter.
At auto GPU it is stable for days and no issues but with 4 x RX470 per rig it is pulling 1200w at the wall.
Maximum for each PSU.

In one room I have 4 of these rigs with 4 cards and it is too much load on the circuit and trips at the board.
I would like to find out if anyone has any settings that work for these cards so I can reduce power draw.

Thanks in advance
